World History Final Project

You will need to discover the main concepts and important events and/or people for the historical eras listed. This does

not mean small details , but big picture (for example, you do not need to know the dates of the Reign of Terror in France, but why it happened.)

After you complete your research, you will need to create museum exhibits that emphasize these eras of history. For each era, you need to come up with at least 2 artifacts that best represent each era. For each artifact, you will need to write a display card (see the example below) which explains what the artifact is and why it is a good representation for that particular era. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACTUALLY CREATE EACH ARTIFACT.

A rubric is attached to the back of this page. It includes a chart for you to check off as you complete each part of the project. This will help you stay on task and allow you to see what you have left to finish.

All parts of this project should be turned in and organized in to the folder that I provide for you.

ArtifactsFor each historical era, you must come up with TWO artifacts. You must draw at least ONE for each era (you will have a total of 12

pictures). Then you should complete the museum display card that explains what the artifact is and why this is a good demonstration of the historical era it represents. This should include its importance.
